APD 8000 Universal Input Temperature Transmitters

The APD 8000 accepts a DC, potentiometer, thermocouple, RTD or thermistor input and provides an optically isolated and linearized DC voltage or current output. The input is sampled, digitally converted (and linearized for temperature sensors), and then passed through an optocoupler to the output stage. Full 3 way isolation (input, output, power) make this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, and noise pickup reduction. The input type and range, and output type and range are field configurable. This provides a versatile solution that works with all commonly available sensors. Microprocessor-based linearization uses 41 to 55 segments or up to a 14th order polynomial depending on the sensor type. The input type is set with switches and its range is configured using front buttons, a multimeter and an input simulator. The low noise 18 bit analog output is isolated and can be set up for common voltage and milliamp output types.
